Our Story

Lisa Gilchrist Peterson started Gilchrist Art Camp in 2007 with a goal to give children the material and atmosphere that allows them to develop their skills in a professional and fun environment.

Lisa has a background in both art and child development. Her goal is to bring those two passions together and work with children and develop their artistic abilities, helping all kids see their creativity potential and the importance in expressing it!

Art Camp is full of energy, creativity, and passion to help further one’s love for expressing art and making friends along the way.

All of our camps are thoughtfully designed to build, create, and reconstruct art through use of found, recycled, and used material, as well as, using professional-grade paints, and fine art products.We use this approach to help develop an understanding of balance between using our resources at hand while investing in quality and craftsmanship. Each week is maxed with as many projects as we can fit in while still enjoying and appreciating the process.
